Overview Glymook 2mg/500mg Tablet SR

Diabex Duo 2mg/500mg Extended-Release Tablets are classified as antidiabetic medications. This dual-action formulation treats type 2 diabetes in adults by managing blood glucose levels. Diabex Duo should be ingested with meals, consistently at the same time daily for optimal effectiveness. Dosage is determined and adjusted by your physician based on your blood sugar response. Continued use is crucial, even with controlled blood sugar, as abrupt cessation can lead to elevated glucose, potentially causing kidney complications, vision impairment, neuropathy, and limb loss. This medication complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan including diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle modifications significantly impact diabetes control. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a prevalent side effect, characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors. Regular meals and readily available glucose sources (e.g., sugary snacks, juice) are essential. Alcohol consumption increases hypoglycemia risk and should be limited. Additional potential side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. This medication is contraindicated for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe liver or kidney disease. Prior heart conditions should be disclosed to your physician before commencing treatment. Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding. Regular blood glucose monitoring and periodic blood tests (to assess blood cell counts and liver function) are recommended.
